The linked article is a recent account by
Philip Connors. I rather expected it to be a 2008-era article about one of the most famous fire lookouts in literature: Gary Snyder who worked as a fire lookout in the 1950s and found the job congruent with the interest in Zen and contemplation that distinguished him as a member of the Beats.
